12. TERMINATION. This Agreement will commence upon installation of Software. Your rights
under Section 1 and/or 2 will immediately and automatically terminate upon your breach of any
provision of this Agreement, at which time you must return to TheBrain or destroy all copies of
Software in your possession.
13. GOVERNMENT LICENSEE. If Software is licensed by or for any unit or agency of the United
States Government, then Software will be classified as "commercial computer software", as
that term is defined in the applicable provisions of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (the
"FAR") and supplements, including the Department of Defense ("DoD") FAR Supplement (the "DFARS").
Software was developed exclusively at private expense, and no part of Software was
first produced in the performance of a United States Government contract. If Software is
supplied for use by DoD, Software is delivered subject to the terms of this Agreement and
either (i) in accordance with DFARS 227.7202-1(a) and 227.7202-3(a), or (ii) with restricted
rights in accordance with DFARS 252.227-7013(c) (Nov. 1995), as applicable. If Software is
supplied for use by a Federal agency other than DoD, Software is restricted computer
software delivered subject to the terms of this Agreement and (i) FAR 12.212; (ii) FAR 52.227-19;
or (iii) FAR 52.227-14, as applicable.
14. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement and any claim or cause of action arising under or related to
this Agreement in any way shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of California, excluding its conflicts of law principles. The United Nations Convention on
Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement. In connection
with any claim or cause of action that arises under or is related to this Agreement in any way,
you hereby consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal
courts located in Los Angeles County of the State of California.
15. SEVERABILITY. To the extent that any of the provisions of this Agreement, or any word,
phrase, clause, or sentence thereof, is found to be illegal or unenforceable for any reason, that
provision, word, phrase, clause, or sentence will be reformed or deleted only to the extent
necessary to make this Agreement as reformed legally enforceable. That reformation or deletion
will not affect the balance of the provisions or parts of this Agreement, which are to be
construed as severable and independent.
16. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with
respect to its subject matter, and supersedes any and all written or oral agreements previously
existing between the parties with respect to such subject matter. No delay on the part of
TheBrain in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof,
nor will any waiver on the part of TheBrain of any right preclude any other or further exercise
of any right under this Agreement.
17. THIRD PARTY COMPONENTS. Software from third party organizations is included with
Software and is subject to the additional provisions outlined in the respective sections of
